  • Introduction Fact Sheet
    Women’s Human Rights International Association WHRIA 23 rue du départ 75014 Paris France e-mail : [email protected] Introduction This factsheet has been prepared to the human rights council resolution 35/16 based on the UN High Commissioner for Human Right’s request, in response to question number 1. Below are statistics gathered from government sources on compulsory marriages of children. Fact sheet Country - Statistics & Facts A social expert revealed that at present, 41,000 early marriages under the age of 15 take place in Iran every year. Amir Taghizadeh, deputy for cultural and youth affairs in the General Department of Sports and Youth in East Azerbaijan Province, said that girl children between 10 and 15 years of age are forced to get married. He said, "In 2015, some 4,000 girls between 10 and 15 years old got married but this year, this number increased to 4,164." http://www.magiran.com/npview.asp?ID=3622511 Earlier in May, Parvaneh Salahshouri, head of the so-called women’s faction in the mullahs’ parliament, said, “The statistics show that there have been 37,000 marriages of girls under 15 in the country last year, and in the same time interval, 2,000 of them either got divorced or became widows.” (The state-run IRNA news agency, May 8, 2018) http://www.irna.ir/zanjan/fa/News/82908548 Child widows constitute a great catastrophe in Iran, said Hassan Moussavi Chelak, head of the Social Work Association. From March 2017 to March 2018 (Persian year 1396), the number of marriages registered in Tehran was 78,972, which included 1,481 marriages of girls under 15 years of age.

Brazil Abstract Objective This study was conducted to evaluate the concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in fruit samples collected from Markazi Province, Iran. A probabilistic health risk assessment due to ingestion of PTEs through the consumption of these fruits was also conducted. Methods The concentration of PTEs in 90 samples of five types of fruits (n = 3) collected from six geographic regions in Markazi Province was measured. The potential health risk was evaluated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Results A significant difference was observed in the concentration of PTEs between fruits as well as soil and water samples collected from different regions in Markazi Province.

E-mail: [email protected] (Received 21 Oct 2008; revised version 11 Jul 2009; accepted 18 Jul 2009) Summary The aim of this study was to provide preliminary quantitative information on selenium and iodine status of sheep in Markazi province, Iran. Selenium and iodine status of grazing sheep were measured for 57 different flocks in 14 regions over one year. The districts were selected to represent major sheep growing areas in the province. Blood samples were collected from 2 to 3-year-old ewes during summer, autumn and winter. Samples were analyzed for blood glutathione peroxidase (GSHpx) activity and plasma inorganic iodine. There were significant differences between regions and seasonal differences in terms of blood GSHpx activity and plasma inorganic iodine concentration (P<0.01). Low levels of GSHpx activity (<60 IU/gHb) and plasma inorganic iodine (<5 µg/dl) in some regions or some seasons indicated the need for dietary supplementation of these minerals. Key words: Sheep, Nutrition, Mineral, Selenium, Iodine Introduction of insufficient iodine intake (Bobek, 1998).

Abstract Studied area, is an ancient structure of Central Iran which is located between the central Zagros and Alborz. Numerous fractures can be seen in the Tafresh area. Base on studying on this area, fractures of Tafresh was affected by a major fracture process zone in central Iran and the southern part of Alborz. Although many researchers have been done over the Tafresh area, but due to the complexity of the geological and specific conditions of topography, Geometric studying of joints and fractures of tafresh has not completely done. This paper examines the fracture based on geometry and kinematics and spatial distribution of folds and joints using joint study techniques. Fieldwork was done, at 36 Stations - 498 joints - and during 35 days, using Clark compass. At each station bedding, Attitude, spacing, opening, filling, shape and dimensions of the joint sets plus their relationship to one another and other structures such as faults and folds were done using the selection method (Nickelsen and Hough, 1967) and directory (Davis 1984), Which are fast with measuring and statistical calculations.

  • Evaluation of Toxoplasma Gondii Infection in Western Iran: Seroepidemiology and Risk Factors Analysis
    Mousavi-Hasanzadeh et al. Tropical Medicine and Health (2020) 48:35 Tropical Medicine https://doi.org/10.1186/s41182-020-00222-x and Health RESEARCH Open Access Evaluation of Toxoplasma gondii infection in western Iran: seroepidemiology and risk factors analysis Morteza Mousavi-Hasanzadeh1, Hossein Sarmadian2, Reza Ghasemikhah3* , Mojtaba Didehdar3, Maryam Shahdoust4, Mahshid Maleki5 and Mahdieh Taheri6 Abstract Background: Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infectious disease, and Toxoplasma gondii is the causative factor of this intracellular protozoan disease. Due to the lack of information about the rate of T. gondii in general papulation of Markazi Province in Iran, the current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of toxoplasmosis and the related risk factor analysis in the general population of Markazi Province. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed within 6 months on individuals who were referred to diagnostic laboratories in Markazi Province. The demographic and background information of the subjects were collected using a questionnaire. Three milliliters of blood samples was collected from the participants under sterile conditions. The sera were separated and evaluated for levels of anti-Toxoplasma IgG antibody using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The collected data were analyzed by the SPSS software using descriptive statistics and chi-square test. Results: Out of 824 people from the general population of Markazi Province who were investigated in this study, 276 (33.5%) had anti-Toxoplasma antibodies in their blood. According to the logistic regression model, gender variables, location, marital status, and having a cat at home do not affect the chances of contracting the parasite. Furthermore, the chance of contracting the parasite in 41- to 50-year-olds is 0.85 times the one in the 20- to 30- year-olds.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Our study area “Tafresh” is located in the sedimentary-volcanic belt. This work was carried out as systematic for surveying ore potentials at Tafresh base on the geology, geochemistry, laboratories studies, remote sensing, and tectonic. According to study of 109 samples, most of the area’s mine- ralization has been associated with Dacite, Diorite, Tonalite intrusive massive, Andesitic dykes which are related to operation of thrust and strike slip faults. Also, most of these ore deposits had been concentrated at sedimentary rocks of Cretaceous that involves Limestone and Shale in the Southwest and Andesite to Andesitic Basalt at the Northern of Tafresh area. Most of the alterations zones associated with mineralization are androgenic like Argillic, Propylitic, Sericitic, and sili- ceous alterations that have appropriate adaptation with area’s major faults as well. Eventually, based on the geochemical studies and incorporating all data by GIS software, Tafresh has re- markable concentration of Cu and Au ore deposits that are recognized as Skarn and Hydrothermal ore deposits which are related to fluids flowing from intrusive massive and dykes.
